Serve immediately with your favorite fillings and toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, Nutella, jam, or savory fillings like ham and cheese. Enjoy! (5 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter.
Letting the batter rest for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight in the refrigerator) will allow the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender crêpe.
If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency. If it's too thin, add a tablespoon of flour.
To keep the crêpes warm while you cook the rest, stack them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel or place them in a warm oven (200°F).
Crêpes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving.
